Ripping up a publication that has been around since the 1700s all because your workers asked to be given some dignity.

Wow. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will cease operations in May. The announcement from the wealthy Block family comes after SCOTUS refused to take up its appeal of a federal ruling requiring it to make changes to its union health plan.

Even more bummed to see he’s committed to Oklahoma. Can’t blame him. If I was wearing his shoes my shortlist of schools would be OU, TAMU, and maybe TTech. I’d want Texas to know what they are missing out on.
A little bummed to see Parker Livingstone "forced" into the transfer portal. I felt like he and Arch had pretty good chemistry, and I also felt he was a bit underrated. He'll be a star wherever he goes, I just hope those UT boosters know what they're doing.
